Waiting for the page break to post an illustration of my column stripping approach to image rotation. AI8 playtime! :D

Just pulled the trigger on that 15" panel. Gotta find the right controller. Looks like backlight cable power is needed? Design study/mockup of FPD enclosure is right up my alley. Printing a case and cobbling the bits together is well beyond the scope of this project however. Scaling the image...

I've been pondering this TTL input spinoff from the RGBtoHDMI project. It keeps everything in the digital realm. https://texelec.com/product/rgbtohdmi-ttl/ Have you got linkage to the original RGBtoHDMI project handy? To bad this stuff is so very, very far above my pay grade. 😦 edit: I think...

Scaling the image for fit an inexpensive, used 20" 1280x1024 panel would be the way to go. Dunno if the Extron is up to that. It's been a long time since a messed with it, baby steps. Anybody out there interested in implementing rotation along the lines of what I illustrated above? edited typo

1:1 with customized cropping would be the Extron Scaler's stock in trade. I can set the margins around the FPD output however I want. If such can be handled via SBC magic so much the better, but I'm thinking in terms of what I might be able to do with hardware in hand at this point.

Yep, 10" tablet size panels are much too small to work out at all for me. 15" 1024x768 panels might be the ticket with the right frame buffer tomfoolery. Trying hard not to pull the trigger on this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/352760054545 Gotta get someone involved who can pull together the...

Interesting, bare panel/controller or full on display? I've been thinking inexpensive/obsolescent displays. That's exactly what I've been thinking. But figured they're older displays lacking DVI input? Hoping scaling can be worked out for the likes of my 19"/20" HP and Dell displays. Fearing...

Thanks for chiming in! I wind up talking to myself in these threads. :( As you'll see below (hopefully) the scanline output orientation of Radius' FPD boards is unsuitable for using a standard LCD. I've found only exceedingly expensive solutions for the rotation of Hi Definition Video and the...

Looks like my rotation concept proved: https://blog.1bitrainbow.com/pico-mac-nano/ The LCD The final size was always going to be determined by the LCD panel which needed to be able to display the 512px x 342px screen buffer. I eventually settled on the smallest 640x480px LCD I could find at a...

@Bolle, have you had a chance to play with that new toy yet?

Thruhole PLCC68 sockets seem to be available. Is this what folks have been saying is unobtanium? https://www.ebay.com/itm/235031138033 There seem to be a few listings for thruhole sockets and plenty for SMT Socket listings. The sockets on Performer boards for the Classic look...

Darn, bet it would be cool in a little Macintosh carry bag on a keychain though. :p

Dis they include a security slot interface for keychain compatible display option?

It's so cute! Love it.
